Users look for details on Oracle's next database
"October 20, 2006 (IDG News Service) -- At its OpenWorld conference in San Francisco next week, Oracle Corp. is expected to divulge details about the enhancements it plans to make in the next version of its flagship database, which began initial beta testing last month.
Oracle declined to comment this week about any new products it has in the works. But users and analysts said they expect the next database release to include enhancements to the software's grid computing, clustering and XML capabilities as well as increased automation to ease database administration tasks for smaller companies and new security features to protect against insider data theft."
